Inventor: SUNG HOSANG
IPC: G10L25/90
Filed: 2006-02-03
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for recovering a line spectrum pair (LSP) parameter of a spectrum region when frame loss occurs during speech decoding and a speech decoding apparatus adopting the same are provided. The method of recovering an LSP parameter in speech decoding includes: if it is determined that a received speech packet has an erased frame, converting an LSP parameter of a previous good frame (PGF) of the erased frame or LSP parameters of the PGF and a next good frame (NGF) of the erased frame into a spectrum region and obtaining a spectrum envelope of the PGF or spectrum envelopes of the PGF and NGF; recovering a spectrum envelope of the erased frame using the spectrum envelope of the PGF or the spectrum envelopes of the PGF and NGF; and converting the recovered spectrum envelope of the erased frame into an LSP parameter of the erased frame. The method and apparatus can improve the quality of a recovered speech signal, be applied to a variety of technologies, and provide a method of recovering an LSP parameter for development of an algorithm for speech decoding.

Abstract: In an apparatus and method for driving a plasma display including first and second electrode driving units for applying a driving waveform to first and second electrodes formed in parallel on a front panel, the second electrode driving unit applies a first bias voltage having a certain value not greater than a sustain voltage to the second electrode during a set-up period. That is, the second electrode driving unit does not apply a voltage of a ground level but applies a voltage having a certain value not greater than the sustain voltage, particularly, a voltage of a size of about half the sustain voltage, to reduce the potential difference between a scan electrode and a sustain electrode to thereby prevent occurrence of an erroneous discharge. Since the voltage of about half the sustain voltage can be implemented by using an output of an energy recovery unit, an additional device is not required, so its cost can be reduced, and in case of using the output of the energy recovery unit, since a free resonance waveform is generated, the possibility of preventing the erroneous discharge can be increased.

Abstract: A double exposure method for enhancing the image resolution in a lithographic system, is presented herein. The invention comprises decomposing a desired pattern to be printed on the substrate into at least two constituent sub-patterns that are capable of being optically resolved by the lithographic system, coating the substrate with a first positive tone resist layer and a relatively thin second positive tone resist layer on top of a target layer which is to be patterned with the desired dense line pattern. The second resist material is absorbing exposure radiation during a first patterning exposure and, after development, during a second patterning exposure to prevent exposure of at least a portion of the first resist material, underneath exposed portions of the second resist material layer, to an exposure dose above a fraction of an energy-to-clear exposure dose associated with the first resist layer.

Abstract: A more reliable electrical connection scheme suitable for inter-substrate connections in an active matrix IPS-type LCD display is disclosed. To reduce display noise, the substrate (11) not having the TFT electrode circuitry is provided with a conductive film (CD) on its surface which does not contact the liquid crystal layer. A connecting member (14) connects this film to a GND pad electrode (15) mounted on the TFT substrate (12). This pad, in turn, is connected to a GND terminal formed on a flexible PCB (FPC) to which a GND reference voltage is applied. 
A conductive film (metal or transparent) is formed on the TFT substrate, below the GND pad electrode (15) which is connected to the GND terminal by a first connection line. At least one contact hole (16) connecting the GND pad electrode and the conductive film is arranged through an intervening insulator film. 
The pad and conducting layer scheme is less susceptible to cracking associated with insulating layers which can lead to breaks in the electrical connection.
